If you knew better you could probably talk about any feature from Windows 8 in detail other than "file copy and task manager!" but no, the improvements people always mention are copy and pasted from reviews because they do not even understand what they're using actually using. I doubt any of you have even used storage spaces or know what they did to the memory heap, you're ratting off bullet points and regurgitated talking points to justify your personal upgrades. When they give me real reasons to upgrade from Windows 7, I will consider it. The os being cheap isn't a reason to upgrade.

Actually, it was free for me. And I've had less issues with Win8 than I have with Windows 7. Windows 8 performs better (faster startup and better performance during runtime) and I like some of the features of the new UI.

I know better because I am using it and I have seen no steps backward and only steps forward.

You're using Windows 7 with an annoying tablet interface bolted onto it that you manage to ignore and very minor under the hood changes. Stop trying to deceive yourself that you're somehow blazing a new path that "tech elitist geeks" somehow don't understand. Of course it's problem free, its based almost entirely on Windows 7 which has years of stability testing. This is not an accomplishment! It has nothing to do with "hating", it's an operating system, not a band. Instead of people being elitist tech geeks maybe others just have really low standards.

Because Windows 8 is superior. Why isn't what reason enough?

Also, the ignorant stubborn people out there who don't spend a reasonable amount of time in the new interface are selling themselves short. I spend the majority of my time in the regular desktop but occasionally switch to the new interface for reading stock info and whatnot. It is quite nice.

Ehhh... I'd suggest reading the article. It's like the guy is nitpicking. I'm not entirely discounting his review but I'd like to see some more before making a decision. Plus, it has a demo (unlike Mincraft, ugh).
